What are your thoughts on Euripides’ Medea?

GOD. i love you so much for this question, i absolutely love Medea's character in general, she is such an interesting one to study and i'm always so happy when she gets mentioned in my classes. to answer your question, i loved Euripides' Medea! ive worked on it for a (supposed to be 15 pages, ended up being 31) project in high school, where i worked on Seneca's play and two modern retellings as well, and i compared the portrayal of her as a witch and as a child-killing mother (got the highest grade on that project!) and it was just so interesting to do, sometimes i wish i could redo it with the knowledge i have now from my uni classes to do even better sjhdbcj. i also had to compare a bit of Euripides' Medea with Hector and Andromache's goodbyes in the Iliad for an oral exam and i was so happy when i got those texts sjhbcjs but anyways, I love it, i dont know what made you ask about this play in particular but im so happy you did sjhdcbs also my favourite quote from it is this one (from Loeb): "Men say that we live a life free from danger at home while they fight with the spear. How wrong they are! I would rather stand three times with a shield in battle than give birth once." (248-251)
